We know Europe is weak, and woke. They have essentially de-balled their men. Culture is on it’s death bed. Criminals take advantage of that.
This reads like a cartoon movie script from The Pink Panther.
I am dying for the movie to come out!
This is the French crown joules that were stolen. They don’t have a king anymore, but they still had crown joules.
Jeez, climbed right up a crane ladder there for renovation work and left in place.
All those construction workers with tools look alike, I guess.
I find it hard to believe that the Louvre is displaying real jewels.
All the feelings I have about this is just to laugh at Europe.
“...was over in a handful of minutes...”

How many minutes are in a handful?
It seems like it would take more than 4-7 minutes to cut through a window. Maybe once it’s done, then 4-7 minutes to steal the items.
There are quite a few windows in the Louvre (I’ve never been, but I’m looking at it on google maps). They’ve got a serious problem if it’s that easy to break in.

I think I see the problem.
one of the best Dr Who episodes was about a Louvre robbery

No Kings, no need for Crown Jewels, I guess.
Paracord bracelets are in now.
I’m trying to have SOME concern about this ...but honestly who cares about jewels from Napoleans era. Jewelry has never made any sense to me and I see no realistic value in it except to persons who obtain it for reasons beyond my comprehension. Shelter/food/clothing/plumbing/transportation/cleaning supplies/electricity/law/ and the most important is a relationship to God. Beyond these things jewelry is a burden of adornment and vanity.
Inside job.
Crazy. You would think they’d have enough cameras and security to make this impossible... maybe in the top 5 on the planet next to the White House or the Vatican.
Great ‘security’ ya got there, Frenchie!
Calling Inspector Clouseau!
Detectives have one lead....
One jewel was named for a unique flaw: when viewed closely, an inclusion inside the diamond resembles a “leaping pink panther”. Pink Panther (1963).
Probably on their way to sit for a long time in a wealthy criminal’s collection, or criminal leader’s collection, or are already being split into smaller pieces and the metals melted down.
